Why Your Diet Matters So Much

“It’s not just about supplements we take out of a bottle,” says Himalaya’s Grace Ormstein, MD, who holds a PhD in Nutrition. “Maintaining normal blood sugar balance also means being extra-aware of your diet and exercise too.”

Dr. Grace takes her cue from the National Institutes of Health when telling people what’s good to eat and not good to eat, when sugar hangs in the balance.

Limit foods that are high in sugar

Eat smaller portions, spread out over the day

Be careful of how many carbohydrates you eat

Eat a variety of whole-grain foods, fruits and vegetables every day

Eat healthy oils from foods like fish, flax and chia seeds

Limit your intake of alcohol

All of these things, says Dr. Grace, are good, smart diet advice for all of us. Sweet, safe, sensible. That’s the way to go!
